Summary: Show me The Mummy!
Review: Movies were made to E-N-T-E-R-T-A-I-N you.I've read the reviews from critics{profesionals and wannabe's}and if the review was a bad one it was because they expected something other than being entertained.I can't stand people who think that every movie made in history has to stimulate your brain cells or arouse deep philosophical thoughts.If you are such an animal, do yourself a favor and pick up a book.Its free at your local Library. If you are a hot blooded woman this Mummy is for you.Brendan Fraser is hot as usual, although he doesn't shed any clothes{boo-hoo},Arnold Vosloo, now here is something fresh. What a M-A-N! .If I had that waiting for me,hell,I would have FOUND a way to come back from the dead.He is CHOICE! .My only gripe is that he should've disrobed sooner.Oded Fehr is an olived skinned cutie.Fun for the Whole Family. Oh,yeah,the special effects are great too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great flick on feature rich DVD
Review: The movie is pretty awesome. Industrial Light & Magic did the effects, which are easily the best horror effects to date. The mummy is a pretty powerful creation, totally updated for the 90's.

The DVD is great, it contains numerous features including screen savers, pc games, and a full length flick called "Making a better mummy", an inside view of ILM making the mummy effects.

I was really impressed by both the movie, and the features of this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Great - Just Fun
Review: This movie was just what it was supposed to be - fun to watch. Lean on plot, cornball acting (though well done), and all, it's a fun action flick and was no doubt made to be just that. Those with too sophisticated a taste need not watch. Children of all ages are welcome.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: This was one of the WORST movies I have ever seen. We found ourselves laughing all the way through.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a loverly little bugger
Review: This movie is a great one, especially for all fans of Elizabeth Peter's Amelia Peabody series. Though not well researched, and a little corny, it contains several great quotable lines, loverly British accents, not to mention the fact that Bredan Frasier is a hottie. So, if you're looking for a great adventure that's ALMOST on par with Indiana Jones, this is your movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun
Review: The word to describe this movie is FUN. Is almost a comedy. The characters are very funnt, mainly O`conell and Benny. Is kind of western movie. You`re gonna love it...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Fun "Popcorn Movie"
Review: Stephen Sommers's new big-budgeted blockbuster remake has all things essential of a strong film: a) a convincing protagonist (Brendan Frasier seems like a real character, not a cardboard one); b) convincing antagonist (the Mummy possesses true emotion); c) imaginative, creative plot twists (e.g. a protagonist becomes an antagonist), and effects (e.g. the Mummy's regeneration); d) intelligent humor; e) strong acting; and f) a good pace. Brendan Frasier's portrayal of the wild, wearied protagonist keeps the film engaging and the Mummy's menace and range of emotions is truly refreshing in a day of "Matrix"-like, cold, untouchable, monotonous villains. In summary, this is a strong, old-fashioned action film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good movie
Review: The special effects, sound, and cinematography are what carried this movie. It could have been another Indiana Jones caliber movie if it wasn't for mediocre acting and comedy that wasn't too funny. Throw in Harrison Ford and with better comedy and this would have been a five star movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Indiana Jones and the sincerest form of flattery
Review: Set in the 1930's. Finding treasure hidden away by the pharoahs. Fast paced. Action/ a Adventure. Superior special effects. Sound familiar? The producers bet and won that people who loved the Indiana Jones movies would flock to a reasonable facsimile. The movie proved to be very popular-and deservedly so. Action, humor and suspense are woven seamlessly. The director resisted the temptation to overdo special effects. The casting was near perfect. The result is a superior actin/adventure movie, easily the best since Stephen Spielberg decided not to do this stuff anymore. Understand. The director is not nearly as good as Spielberg in building tension. But to say that your director is not as good as Spielberg is a little like complaining that an author doesn't measure up to Homer. The real surprise of the movie is Brendan Fraser. The man is the ideal action/adventure hero; and I wager that until this movie was released, few suspected it. Looking back it's easy to see that he would be: Tall. Distinct looks. Unique voice. An easy charm. But before, well who would have thought it. If Stephen Spielberg wishes to revive the Indian Jones series, he should take the role from Harrison Ford (too mature for the role now) and give it to Brendan Fraser. He's that good. The DVD version is very good in the way DVD is. Out-takes. background. How the movie was put together etc. But of course the real reaon to buy is the clarity; and here the clarity is first rate. I would rate this movie higher, but the fact that the main idea was taken from the Indian Jones movies will stop it from becoming a classic.
